题目材料：

Federal courts in the United States, especially before the famous 1962 case of Baker v. Carr, were often thought to be powerless in the area of election law, voting rights, and other legal questions clearly bearing on politics. This perception was not entirely correct, of course, as pre-1962 Supreme Court decisions such as that in the case of Smith v. Allwright demonstrated in the wake of that decision, voting participation among African Americans in the South increased substantially. However, political rights had not always been so clearly championed by the Supreme Court as they were in Smith v. Allwright. Indeed, the transformations between the Civil War and 1962 were such that, in reviewing voters' rights cases over the intervening decades, one feels like an archaeologist cutting through distinct layers in which the judicial decisions uncovered reveal a pattern of ideological and societal change.

The author of the passage uses the analogy of the archaeologist most probably in order to

A.contrast judicial decisions made after 1962 concerning voters rights with decision made immediately after the Civil War
B.suggest that the author is perplexed by many judicial decisions regarding voters' rights
C.characterize the nature of change in judicial thinking regarding voters' rights
D.indicate that much of the history of voters' rights has been lost since the Civil War
E.illustrate the lack of concern for voters' rights exhibited by federal courts before the Civil War
